No shit, the last time Russia wasn't hostile to the US was what?  1943?

I find it interesting how quickly the media has started describing Russia as "hostile".

What term would you use?

Just saying, they weren't using it when Russia was invading Georgia and Ukraine. But hack John Podestas emails and it's Evil Empire Mk2.  :hmm:

So this is just a selective memory thing on your part?

I'm pretty sure that's because they were using terms like "aggression" and "regional destabilization."

You don't see a massive spike in anti-Russia sentiment over the past year?

What's been more disturbing is the massive spike in pro-Russia sentiment over the past year.

What exactly are you trying to rationalize here, Eddie?

Maybe I've just been listening to Stephen Colbert too much. The amount of times he's used the phrase "hostile foreign power" you'd think he was working for WR Hearst.

If you say so, Eddie.  Or is it: Ivan

I try to align sleep with my chair times.

By the by, do you two not sleep?

I would probably sleep better if I didn't have so many things to worry about keeping me awake.  Like my government trying to kill me.

Perhaps because one is directly targeting the US and undermining fundamental institutions, while the other involves countries halfway across the world that few Americans care about?

But why worry?

Because I want to be prepared to at least make sure I don't look directly at the blast.
